My Day as a Clarinet Soloist - Prayer of St Gregory
Kit Duncan suggested I post some of my music.
I played a clarinet solo piece with The American Recorder Orchestra of the West in 2010. Since this is probably the only time I will get to play a clarinet solo with a large group, I invite you to listen.

J.S. Bach Sabbath
I didn't have anything interesting to say about Yacht Rock this week, so I thought I would post some music I love.
Most of my recorder and flute-playing friends think I am insane for liking Baroque music and Metal. Of course, I can't argue against the accusation of insanity, but I still think there is a lot of Baroque in metal (or metal in baroque if you want to run the clock backwards). Listen to the first few minutes of the St John Passion. This always sounds a like a Metallica…

You Are Old, My Employee, The Young Boss Said
With Apologies to Lewis Carroll and Robert Southey
“You are old, My Employee,” the young Boss said,
“And your beard has become very white;
And yet you show up every morning for work—
Do you think, at your age, it is right?

“You are old,”…

A Gold Rush Every Year in Sacramento
One of the best things about Sacramento is its Old Sacramento area. The oldest part of town was abandoned for much of the 20th century and has been refurbished to look like it did in the late gold rush and early railroad era (about 1855 to 1875).

September 11, 2001 - Gustav Holst Got Me Through the Day
The short and solemn hymn segment of Holst's “Jupiter” is my Soundtrack for that very unfortunate day.
I had been given the clarinet parts to Holst's Jupiter from "The Planets" the prior week. I had been asked to play a few excerpts for an audition after…

Freaks and Geeks and the World Trade Center
I have been a juggler of one type or another for most of my life.
Like many “Circus-arts performers”, I have felt a connection to the World Trade Center since Philip Petit's inexplicable and delightful tight rope walk between the towers in 1974. That bold and unforgettable stunt demonstrated a spirit that motivated me to continue juggling through my High School years.…
